>I click "undo" and the screen returns to its original state -- which at this point is basically turning the buttons around. Then I click edit again. The code says (1) display the proper buttons... and (2) thisform.setall("enabled",.t.) and THIS TIME, the fields are displayed as enabled and can be edited as needed. The buttons work correctly everytime EXCEPT the first.

Sounds like you need a form.refresh() after the SetAll(). It's probably excecuting one somewhere else along the way.
